UK New Born to ILR parent

[mallapum]

Hi,

I have received ILR last week. My baby born on 10-06-2017 in UK and never traveled outside UK hence hasn't applied for any travel document. My wife is on dependent visa.

In my scenario, can I apply for British Passport for my child? If yes, what are supporting documents that I need to submit.

Any information is appreciated..

Thanks..

As you child was born in the UK before you were issued with ILR, they aren't entitled to apply directly for a British passport.

You can however submit a BC Registration application on form MN1 under section 1(3)

The current fee for Registration is £973, but this is likely to increase when the 2018/19 fees are released on the 6th April.

Hi Casa,

thanks for the help,

We are planning to attend a family event in India along with new born baby. Just wondering , what is the quickest way to obtain required documents?

Could you please share some details , if possible

thanks..

There is no 'quick' way for registration on MN1. The online form seems to be the quickest time these days but it still takes a few weeks.

Thanks CR001 for your inputs,

I am filling online application (MN1) , have couple of queries.

Country of nationality , baby born in the UK in June last year but never applied or has any nationality (both parents are Indian passport holders). What should I select in this case? Looks like it's a mandatory option in online application and not accepting n/a or not applicable etc

Has any of you or your known ones used online application (MN1) to quire BC for baby born in UK aged less than a year?

Any help is much appreciated..

thanks

Hi All,

After noticing that new online application (MN1) has mandatory fields such as nationality that are not applicable in my case ( baby born in the UK and not registered to any other country , no present nationality ) and facing difficulty to completing online application. I have decided to go for paper MN1 application.

Have following queries, Any help is appreciated

Section 1.9 , Present nationality : I have left blank (child born in UK on 10-06-2017 and not registered to any country. Living in UK since birth ) . Is it correct to leave this blank?
Section 2 : residency requirements , Can I leave 2.1 ,2.2,and 2.3 blank
Section 4: Good Character Requirements : Is this section applicable to child applicant aged 10 and over?
My child is 9 months age , so, Is it okay if leave this entire section blank?
Section 5: Referees . Are 1st and 2nd referee mandatory for 9 months old baby?

Thanks..

Should be ok.

Section 2 : residency requirements , Can I leave 2.1 ,2.2,and 2.3 blank

2.1 write date of birth. Rest leave blank as child has clearly not traveled out of the UK.

Section 4: Good Character Requirements : Is this section applicable to child applicant aged 10 and over?
My child is 9 months age , so, Is it okay if leave this entire section blank?

Leave blank yes.

Section 5: Referees . Are 1st and 2nd referee mandatory for 9 months old baby?

Yes, it is mandatory to have 2 referees.

Hi,
I have attached following supporting documents along with MN1 application and application fee forms
- Baby's UK Full birth certificate
- Father Passport (India)
- Father BRP card (ILR)

Just wondering, these supporting documents sufficient or do i need to attach baby's mother's documents like her passport, BRP (PBS dependent) along with application?

Do I need to send marriage certificate as well?

Thanks..

Yes, it is mandatory to have 2 referees.

CR001 I applied in 2016 when my daughter was 3.5 years without a single refree and it went through, I clearly remember having a tough time finding referees, and HO confirmed it was ok. Have they made it mandatory now. Please don't consider this an argument however, just clarifying.
